How? He has gone to the world series. He has taken four different teams to the playoffs. His career as a baseball player far exceeds Marvin's career as a football player. I don't think Marvin ever made the nfl.

He blew an 2-0 lead with 2 HOME GAMES remaining with what was the most talented Reds team in 2 decades. Couple that with Dusty's reluctance to sit veteran players who clearly weren't going to get it done anymore and you have a guy who wasted the prime of Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, and Johnny Cueto. Dusty Baker is the reason this team is still a mess. He set the team back at least 5 years due to his poor managing.

Wasn't it 3 home games remaining because of that stupid old format where the better team started with 2 games on the road and then got the final 3 at home? I think they lost 3 straight at GABP after winning 2 in SF. (Of course, rotation got all blownt up by Cueto in winning those 2 games, but that's not as much fun to talk about.)

I think it was 3 at home.

I've watched enough of Dusty day to day to know what kind of manager he is, I'll go idiot.

It was 3 games I forgot about the old playoff format. Makes my point that much more valid. You don't lose 3 straight games at home.
